[GSoC] Boost.Reflection
by Mariano Gabriel Consoni 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

Hi List! As you may know, I'm working in GSoC on a project called Boost.Extension/Reflection. The Extensions part of the project is finished (just a few details are missing, its original author is working on that), and I've started to work in Boost.Reflection a month ago. This is a library that brings "Reflection" features to C++. The features that are completed now is that you can reflect a class, setting a name for it and you can add different methods, each one identified with an ID of some type (could be different for each method). Also you should define parameter names and types. Finally, you could use the reflection to call any method (identified with that ID). This mail is just to let you know that, besides it isn't complete, we have committed to the sandbox a working version. It has minimum documentation and some examples. We'll continue working to complete the library, improve docs and bring more examples before and after the end of the program. Feel free to contact me if you have questions. Bye! -- Mariano

[units] suggestions on examples/tutorials to add
by Matthias Schabel 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

Steven and I are trying to finish up the examples and documentation for Boost.Units so that it can, hopefully, be ready in time for inclusion in 1.35. I'd love to hear from anyone who has been using it with feedback on the examples/docs, particularly suggestions for improvements or comments on areas that are unclear or difficult to follow.

CLI: A boost command line interpreter based on boost Program Option
by JD 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

Hi all, I wrote a little command line interpreter based on the program option library by Vladimir Prus. You can find it here: http://minilien.com/?bNPy1ECuWv. It's not a big thing but can help sometime. You also have the subversion repository there: http://code.google.com/p/clipo/ Let me know what you think. JD

Koenig lookup swap.
by Joseph Gauterin 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

Would anyone be interested in me adding an koenig lookup swap function to boost? (I would say it belongs in boost.utility). It would be a swap function that uses Koenig lookup to find the 'best' swap funciton, falling back on std::swap like this: template <class T> void koenig_swap(T& left, T& right) { using std::swap; swap(left,right); } Several boost libraries (multi array, compressed pair, graph, optional, spirit) already use this technique, each time explicitly with 'using std::swap' instead of abstracting it out.

questions regarding SVN setup
by Robert Ramey 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

I'm interested in a) getting developer access to the SVN system - if I don't already have it. b) I don't know if the SVN system has a web browser interface like the CVS system did. If it does it would be nice to have it enabled. Personally, since i have tortoise svn on my machine, its not a big deal if I don't have it. But I think its very useful for those who arn't hooked up to SVN system to be able to observe history and when investigating features. c) It seems to me that information regarding SVN access and boost customs and practices for using it to best advantage should be available form the main boost web page. Oh now I found it - its via a link titled Sandbox SVN. So I guess what I'm ask is for the main page to be tweaked so it's location is more obvious. d) The same goes for Trac. There is a link referring to it as a list of bug fixes. But it seems that its also intended to be used for reporting bugs. I don't think that's at all clear from the main page. e) Poking around with the browser shows me a branch for RC_1_34_0. It seems we're releasing 1.34.1 - where is the branch for the actual code released? or are they the same? or? f) Poking around a little more, I see: root/branches/SPIRIT_1_6/boost/boost ... // all the boost headers which is what I expect to see. I presume that all these headers are the state at the time the branch was made plus any merged in updates. OK then I look at: root/branches/SPIRIT_1_6/boost/libs ...// only find the directory for spirit which kind of surprises me. I expect to see the whole set of libraries even though I know they havn't changed on this branch. I'm sure all the boost libraries haven't changed on this branch yet they are all there. What am I missing here? On the web page http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/BoostSubversion under Developer Access one finds: " Boost contributors are given read/write access to the Boost Subversion repository when their Boost tasks warrant. There are three different areas of the Boost Subversion repository that contributors may need access to: a.. The main Boost development areas, including the devel and stable directories. This level of access is typically restricted to authors and maintainers of Boost libraries. *** What is are the "devel" and "stable" directories? Is one of them the "trunk" Please expand upon this. a.. The sandbox area, which is used to develop new libraries and tools that have not yet come up for Boost review. This level of access is available to contributors who want to develop future Boost libraries and collaborate with other Boost contributors. b.. The web site, which stores the Boost web site. To gain developer access to the Boost Subversion repository, please send a email to the Boost Moderators at boost-owner -at- lists.boost.org stating why you need write access to the Boost Subversion repository, and which parts of the repository--boost itself, the sandbox, or the web site--you need access to. *** How can I find out what parts (if any) I have developer access to. When I downloaded the SVN trunk the first time - I wasn't asked for a password - which surprised me. I didn't try to check anything in so I have no idea what kind of access I had. If you had access to Boost CVS when it was hosted at SourceForge, please provide your SourceForge user ID. Once a moderator has approved you for access to the Subversion repository, you will receive an invitation via e-mail that asks you to provide a user name and a password, which will be used to access both the Boost Subversion repository and the Boost Trac. *** I went through some procedure to get developer access to boost trac - so I have a password for that. So am I already in business for SVN? You will also be asked to grant permission for your past and future Boost contributions to be licensed under the Boost Software License version 1.0 and future versions: your permission is required to work with the Boost Subversion repository, so that we can ensure that Boost code is licensed under the Boost Software License. Once you have signed in, you should notify the moderator of your username, and he will complete the process. Thanks in advance. Robert Ramey

[gsoc] the signal network library is now the dataflow library
by Stjepan Rajko 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

The summer of code signal network project has taken a turn for the generic, and is now called the Dataflow library (you can think of dataflow programming as "programming by specifying the flow of data through data processing components"). Basically, after originally focusing on using Boost.Signals as the data transport mechanism, I started exploring another data transport mechanism (using simple pointers, and processing the data using Phoenix expressions), which helped me extract some generic dataflow concepts. I have posted the documentation at: http://dancinghacker.com/code/dataflow/ A few notes about the docs, so you know what you're looking at: * The Dataflow.Signals docs are still in transition - if something is confusing, your best bet is to look at the examples. If the examples are confusing... let me know :-) * the doxygen generated reference is broken * I'm still thinking of how to best express the concepts. Even though the documentation (and the code) are still in a "slight" state of flux, at this point I would rather put something out there to get feedback than wait to get everything ironed out. By reading the docs you should get a good idea of where the project has gone, and any comments you might have are very very very welcome. If you want to look at the code, it is in the sandbox (SOC/2007/signals), the tests and examples have been tested with GCC 4.0.1/darwin and MSVC (test_disconnect is known to fail). The summary of the project contributions thus far: 1) A minimal generic dataflow layer which is data-transport mechanism independent, which gives a glimpse of what a generic dataflow library can offer. This layer currently supports component connection, invocation, and grouping. 2) A relatively complete implementation supporting Boost.Signals as the data transport mechanism. This has a number of generally useful signal-based components for dataflow networks, and provides easy connectability. 3) An experimental implementation using mostly pointers as the data transport mechanism + support for Phoenix expressions to process the data. There are some interesting things brewing here - one of the more interesting (to me) is the notion of "inferred" connections (connections that are not stored in memory but inferred from the component). There are some examples of a fibonacci sequence generator that use this (see the docs under Dataflow.Phoenix), and in the future I would also like to experiment with encoding dataflow networks in Proto expression trees. For the GSoC phase I plan to iron out items 1 and 2. Your feedback would be most helpful in deciding what to focus on - what do you find useful? what do you find confusing, awkward, or incorrect? that, and any comments on the implementation are most welcome. It would help me wrap up a more useful GSoC project outcome, as well as plan the future direction of this library. Thank you in advance! Stjepan

BUG IN boost::ptr_set erase
by Sam Lievesley 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

Hi, I think I've found a bug when trying to use boost::ptr_set that stops my code from compiling Pseudo code to reproduce the compiler error: // declare a ptr_set typedef boost::ptr_set<CTask> CTasks; CTasks iTasks; void DestroyTask(const CTask& aTask) { iTasks.erase(iTasks.find(aTask)); // Compiles ok iTasks.erase(aTask); // Compiler complains } The error line from the compiler is c:\program files\boost\boost_1_34_0\boost\ptr_container\detail\associative_ptr_container.hpp(106) : error C2664: 'std::_Tree<_Traits>::iterator std::_Tree<_Traits>::find(void *const &)' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const CTask' to 'void *const &' Taking a look in associative_ptr_container.hpp size_type erase( const key_type& x ) // nothrow { iterator i( this->c_private().find( x ) ); // nothrow if( i == this->end() ) // nothrow return 0u; // nothrow this->remove( i ); // nothrow return this->c_private().erase( x ); // nothrow } This function should be: size_type erase( const key_type& x ) // nothrow { iterator i( this->c_private().find( const_cast<key_type*>(&x) ) ); // nothrow if( i == this->end() ) // nothrow return 0u; // nothrow this->remove( i ); // nothrow return this->c_private().erase( const_cast<key_type*>(&x) ); // nothrow } It now compiles! As I'm not a boost developer I'd appreciate if someone responsible could verify the fix and submit it if its ok ;-) thanks Sam

Gennadiy, While I was reading through the doc's I noticed some grammar issues and was thinking of making a diff and submitting it. I navigated to the below address *SNIP* > in patmedia.net/~rogeeff/src you can find sources. Unfortunately it is giving me a "HTTP FORBIDDEN" message. Thanks, Peter.

[intrusive] Interface for hooking into client code improvable?
by Tobias Schwinger 13 Aug '07

13 Aug '07

Hi Ion and Olaf, I recently started using Boost.Intrusive and it really works like a charm. However, I've been wondering whether it would be possible to make the "hook interface" easier to use and less demanding in terms of names that are injected into client code. So I started experimenting a bit and the attachment is what I came up with. I believe that scheme might actually work (not sure, though)... Regards, Tobias #include <boost/noncopyable.hpp> namespace intrusive { // traits for customization template< typename T > struct slist_node_traits { typedef T* pointer_type; typedef T& reference; // ... }; // management data for one node template< typename T, class Traits = slist_node_traits<T> > class slist_node_mgmt_data { template< typename U, class Tr > friend class slist; typename Traits::pointer_type ptr_next; public: slist_node_mgmt_data() { } }; // ADL extension point to allow Boost.Intrusive to work non-intrusively // by e.g. using an external map<element,management data> template< typename Element, class Traits > slist_node_mgmt_data<Element,Traits>& get_mgmt( slist_node_mgmt_data<Element,Traits>& that) { return that; } // single-linked list (incomplete for illustration) template< typename T, class Traits = slist_node_traits<T> > class slist : boost::noncopyable { typedef Traits traits; public: typedef typename traits::pointer_type pointer_type; typedef typename traits::reference reference; pointer_type ptr_first; public: void push_front(reference x) { get_mgmt(x).ptr_next = this->ptr_first; this->ptr_first = & x; } void pop_front() { this->ptr_first = get_mgmt(* this->ptr_first).ptr_next; } reference front() { return *this->ptr_first; } // ... }; } #include <boost/detail/lightweight_test.hpp> #include <map> class foo : public intrusive::slist_node_mgmt_data<foo> // Note: Base class does not insert any names { int val_data; public: foo(int data) : val_data(data) { } int data() const { return this->val_data; } // Note: No "member hook" }; void foo_test() { intrusive::slist<foo> my_list; foo foo1(1); my_list.push_front(foo1); foo foo2(2); my_list.push_front(foo2); BOOST_TEST( my_list.front().data() == 2 ); my_list.pop_front(); BOOST_TEST( my_list.front().data() == 1 ); my_list.pop_front(); } // Ok, let's try non-intrusive Intrusive ;-) class bar // Note: No base class { int val_data; public: bar(int data) : val_data(data) { } int data() const { return this->val_data; } // Note: No "member hook" }; // Management facility std::map<bar*,intrusive::slist_node_mgmt_data<bar> > bar_management; intrusive::slist_node_mgmt_data<bar>& get_mgmt(bar& that) { return bar_management[& that]; } void bar_test() { intrusive::slist<bar> my_list; bar bar1(1); my_list.push_front(bar1); bar bar2(2); my_list.push_front(bar2); BOOST_TEST( my_list.front().data() == 2 ); my_list.pop_front(); BOOST_TEST( my_list.front().data() == 1 ); my_list.pop_front(); } // Run the tests... int main() { foo_test(); bar_test(); return boost::report_errors(); }
